Student Self-Evaluation & Goal Setting

Standards

Learning Expectations
This activity will help students acquire competencies which relate to the following standards:
8. Self-Knowledge Applications
The student will:
8.4 Develop and implement a plan for an individual goal.

General Approach
The general approach is that children will evaluate past academic & behavioral performance and set goals accordingly. This works well after each grading period.

Activity Steps
*Students will first do the self-evaluation section at the top of the the page.  Remind students that they should answer as honestly as possible and that there is no punishment if they should choose one of the "I did not...." statements.
*After filling out that section, they should reflect on what they chose for their evaluation and set some goals based upon behaviors they want to improve, continue, or new ones they would like to try.
*If the counselor and teacher are working together for this activity, the teacher may want to include the second page of the worksheet.  Students will confer with parents at home about their goals and receive a signature.  Then students will confer with the teacher about their goals and obtain his/her signature.  Students should also sign in the appropriate place.

Time Required
This activity may require about 30 minutes.

Resources Needed

Performance Indicators
Students will be able to assess their individual performances and set goals for the next grading period.  Improvement in those areas will indicate their success or need to re-evaluate and create another plan.
